I'm a 20 year old Junior/ undergrad attending a California college. I've been here since freshmen year and I intend to remain in California indefinitely, hopefully forever. However, my parents do pay 1/3rd of my tuition which is only about 4,000 bucks a year. They also have claimed me as a dependent in the 2009 tax year. I live in an apartment and am on the lease. I work in California and pay my own rent, food and groceries. Other than tuition from my parents I receive no other financial assistance. I have a California drivers license and I am registered to vote in the state. When I graduate from college I will have had a California license for 3 years, worked in California for 2 years, and maintained a residence in California for 2 years. I plan on telling my parents not to claim me in the 2010 tax year. I do not want to return to my home state and I have not relinquished my residency in my home state.
I want to go directly into grad school after completing undergrad in 2012. Please tell me that I'm not going to have to jump over the grand canyon in order to receive in state tuition.
